Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are facing elimination against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals today. Find out how to watch for free.

The Thunder have a 3-2 lead in the series over the Nuggets and have the opportunity to advance to the Western Conference finals tonight.

If the Thunder is to close out the Nuggets in Game 6 on Thursday night, a little better luck from behind the arc wouldn’t hurt.

The Denver Nuggets have made 31 trips to the playoffs during their time in the NBA. They have five appearances in the Conference Finals to show for it. Let’s highlight each of those seasons and discuss the results of each series.

The 2025 NBA Playoffs have not been kind of the Nuggets starter. Porter Jr. is averaging a subpar 9.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 0.7 assists per game for the Nuggets, while shooting 38.8 percent from the field and 36.1 percent from 3-point land.

Oklahoma City had its back against the wall on Sunday afternoon, but managed to come away with a win after a solid showing down the stretch.

Denver was last in the league in 3-point attempts per game during the regular season (31.9), but that number has jumped to 38.5 3PA in the four contests against OKC. In their first-round series versus the LA Clippers, the Nuggets fired up an average of just 29.0 3PA across seven games.

This has not been Nikola Jokic’s finest hour, but according to Charles Barkley, the NBA has not done the Nuggets superstar any favors.
